🏔 The experience

This combo suits anyone who finds a beach day slightly too quiet. The quad section puts you in the saddle of a four-wheel bike on rocky Taurus tracks and through farming villages where the tarmac gives way to gravel. The rafting section swaps engines for paddles on the Kopruchay, a river that travels 183 km from the mountains to the Mediterranean and stays cool through the canyon even in August. It works for couples, groups of friends and families with children aged seven and over, and nobody needs prior experience because the guide-instructor briefs every group before each activity begins.

After the morning pickup, the vehicle leaves the resort strip and heads roughly 60 km inland to Koprulu Canyon National Park, so you arrive with the day still cool. Your instructor runs through the controls and the rules of the trail, you pick a helmet that fits, and a few practice laps follow before the convoy sets out. The route climbs mountain tracks, drops into village lanes and stops for photos. Back at base there is lunch at a local restaurant, then the rafting kit comes out and you walk down to the river for the descent. The transfer returns you to your hotel around 18:00.

🧾 What's included

💡 Good to know

The tour runs every day, and the formula is the same in May as in October: hot and dusty on the bikes, cold and wet on the water. Wear quick-drying clothes with swimwear underneath, closed shoes that grip, and pack a towel and a dry outfit for the ride home. Sun cream, sunglasses and a hat with a clip matter on the exposed tracks. Children aged 7 to 12 pay £12 and ride as passengers behind an adult; only guests over 17 drive. The operator does not accept pregnant women or anyone with heart or respiratory conditions, and drinks are the one thing you pay for on site.

What to bring

• Closed shoes with good support for the quad
• Quick-drying clothes with swimwear underneath
• Towel and a full change of clothes for after the river
• Sun cream
• Hat, ideally one with a clip so it stays on
• Sunglasses
